Admiral Yamamoto--plans attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
didnt go ahead with 3rd attack b/c thought first 2 successful enough; didnt want to put in danger; mistake b/c didnt hit as much as they thought
3 options after we stopped trading: give up Franch indo-China, make compromise, attack US
felt that if Japan had any chance of winning the war it had to destroy Pacific fleet, thought suprise attack would give them time to invade without US involved, thought after long bloody strugle we would settle for letting them do as they wish
ships in a row so not as easy to sabatoge; made it easier when Japanese attacked
didnt get aircraft carriers as they were out to see
Back-Door to War Conspiricy--had to have someone attack to get into the war, stop trading with Japan to make them mad enough to attack, intercepted: Nov, 29 deadline, things would automotically happen,
Attack Plan: 3 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 7 ...........
